Makes sense. Golded uses an 8 bit character set internally. There is no 8 bit character set that includedes the concatenated ij (ij). So no way to disply it in Golded.
It is a bit of a pet project of me. In The Dutch alfabet the ij is the 25th letter of the alfabet, taking the place of the y which is a foreign character. On old Dutch typewriters the ij had its own key. One key, so one letter. On imported typewriters there was no IJ but the Y instead. So to type an ij, the combination IJ was used. The concataned ij disappered in the computer age. No ij on any computer keyboard. And not in any of the code pages and the ISO caharacter sets.
But low and behold, it re-appeared in unicode as code point U+0133 for lower case and U+0132 for upper case. Oddly enough its use is not recommended. Recommended is the use of the digraph ij. But.. I am hard headed. I advocate using it anyway. I had to do some effort to be able to type it. I wrote a Fidonews article how to enter characters by using the hexadecimel code point.
So... Thunderbird displays it correctly. It seems most unicode capable applications do. At least under Windows.
